Has anyone found an online store that has Shield magazines for sale?
 
On the S&W materials, they are going to be available in April, but so far I haven't seen any for sale anywhere...including the S&W store. (I haven't checked today.)
 
I sent an e-mail to Greg Cote, asking him to let me know when he got any in. He responded saying that he had placed an order for a large number of them, but he didn't know yet when they would be in.

His site is a good source for magazines; his prices are usually better than most other places, and his service is very good.
 
Smith had them this afternoon. I think I searched shield accessories and found them. Not in the store so you have to look to find them but they have a list of them. $37 something
 
I ordered two extended mags from S&W over the phone. They are going to be swamped very soon. This gun is very HOT in my state. Several of my friends have bought it and really like the Shield. I was told that the wait on the mags will be about 2-3 weeks.

So, did S&W have them in stock, or were they taking advance orders?
 
I called S&W today and they don't have any in stock and will be a couple of weeks before they do :( Guess I will have to make due with my two mags at the range for now.

And what site would that be? Care to share?
 
Midway USA has them as comeing soon. Can sign up to be notified when they arrive. I am close enough to pick them up myself so I am waiting.
 
I have seen a few 9mm 7-rounders at the last 2 Colorado Gun Shows, but no 8 rounders - which is what I want.

Ordered 7 round on the phone with Smith and Wesson a couple weeks ago...told it would be a couple weeks, so far have not seen anything, they have not charged my card. Only thing I have received so far is a post card saying they have received my order and will send it out when they can.

Smith & Wesson online store took my order for extra Shield .40 mags. Said they would be out no later than 6/7. The gentleman I spoke with said they have over 6,000 on back-order. If you pay for them now, they will automatically ship to you when they become available.:D

I couldn't find them on Smith's website. Do you have a link?
 
Got one today at Sportsman's Warehouse, a 7 rounder for $37 and some change, perhaps a bit pricey, but shipping if ordering on line gets it to be about the same. Last one they had, was shocked they even had one, & came across it just browsing.
 
my LGS got an order yesterday. I bought an extra when I picked up my .40 Shield today for 37.50 plus tax. Put 100 flawless rounds of all kinds of ammo through it and just love the little cannon.
 
The wait is ridiculous!! They said they would be available 2 weeks after the gun came out, its been two months! I am tired of buying all these toys and can't get extra mags with them. They need to make more of the extra's before they put out new products, like the New S&W VE's, come on, really, who wants one of those? I waited for ever to get the M&P 22LR mags and they didn't even come from S&W!
 
Talked to S&W today and asked about the extended mag, they said not yet, I figure it will be late fall before we see them, JMO of course.
 
Unfortunately, waiting for extra mags and factory accessories to make it to retailers (or direct order from the mft) is part of the price paid for buying a new model pistol and should be expected.

I went through the same thing for flush mags (and full size mag 'Xtension' sleeves) for both the XDsc and the XDMc. It's still a bit hard to find the flush XDMc mags.

When you find 'em, pick up on as many as you think you may want, right off the bat.
 
I found two 8-rounders, new in package, on e-Bay this morning. Needless to say, I bought them.

I did call Able Ammo to see if they had any...the 8 rounders are out of stock, but they do have the 7 round magazines in stock. The guy I spoke to said they had them in their warehouse, and it would be 5 - 7 days to pull them, and then whatever shipping option you elected before they would get to you. I didn't order any, since I just got the 8 round magazines...in fact, since I have two of the 7 round magazines (one that came in each of my two Shields) I may just buy 8 round magazines from here on out. My wife prefers the 7 round magazines for carry, and I like the 8 rounders...she can shoot the 8 round magazines at the range.

so you paid $80 for them? no thanks. Midway will have them in a couple weeks for around $30 each

Actually, no...I paid $70 for them. The seller had them listed as buy now or make offer...so I made an offer, which he accepted.

Yes, it's a little more than Midway will charge for them, IF they get them in stock by the date anticipated and IF there are enough to actually get some before they sell out. So, I paid about $10 more than I would have paid on Midway, at some future point. It's worth it to me to have them now. If it isn't for you, that's fine. I'll have enough now to wait until the availability is better and the prices come down (hopefully) before I buy more.

If you think these prices are bad, you would really hate buying mags for an H&K. When I had my USPc .45, the cheapest mags I could find for it were over $60.
 
I was gonna buy two from able ammo the other day when someone posted the had the 7 rounders in stock. I placed 2 in the cart the 17.00 shipping is what stopped me! COME ON!
